Review

Casper Van Dien isn't anything to write home about in the lead role, but he's decent enough. The good guys of the series are heavily upstaged by the forces of evil at work against them. Malcom McDowell and Simon Callow are good fun as the leaders of the Hellfire Council but the most enjoyable performance of the miniseries comes from the Council's most under-estimated member, Morgan Sinclaire. Jonathan Hyde plays the role to diabolical perfection...Overall, I felt this was a wonderfully good miniseries filled with amusing heroes, nefarious villains and a great balance of adventure and humor. To give you an idea of just how much I enjoyed The Curse of King Tut's Tomb, I'll tell you that I found it light-years better than Stephen Sommer's Mummy films, although that statement may not be saying very much to the credit of this title. The ending to Curse was satisfying in that it left the door wide open for a sequel...For me, The Curse of King Tut's Tomb was an enjoyable miniseries. The video quality of the disc leaves something to be desired, but the excellent Dolby Digital 5.1 track might make up for it. The supplements are a waste of time and effort, but even still, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this title to those who enjoy adventure epics and don't mind a slight lack of originality.
